Long Sleep Time

Famous quotes containing the words long, sleep and/or time:

    But, when nothing subsists from a distant past, after the death of others, after the destruction of objects, only the senses of smell and taste, weaker but more enduring, more intangible, more persistent, more faithful, continue for a long time, like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruins of all the rest, to bring without flinching, on their nearly impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    And the beauty
    Of the moonlight
    Falling there,
    Falling
    As sleep falls
    In the innocent air.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Early in the morning, when day breaks, when all is fresh, in the dawn of one’s strength—to read a book at such a time is simply depraved!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
